Its amazing. If anyone speculates that it could be domestic terrorism, based on possible significance of the site and day, they are "hoping and praying its a white guy"...but if they immediately precede/follow that with possible connections to Islamic terror, its ignored...all in the name of "outrage".

There's no doubt common folks on both the left and right played the blame game. But there's also no doubt some prominent members of the leftist media and Democratic Party speculated before they had any facts to support such that these heinous crimes were done at the hands of "right-wingers."

Both such instances are pathetic, but the latter is far more pathetic given those individuals' influence and supposed commitment to truth.

It is perfectly reasonable, given the history of bombings in the US, to discuss anti government extremists as possible suspects.

quote:"If the Boston attack turns out to be the work of right-wing extremists it really shouldn’t surprise us, because these groups are not a new threat, and they have been growing in numbers and power in recent years,” Mudd said. “What would be notable is that they are once again turning to terrorism as a tactic, which is increasingly common around the world.”

quote:In a news story about the alleged pressure cooker bomb found in Boston, the political establishment’s propaganda network claimed “extreme right-wing individuals” are fond of the device featured in al-Qaeda’s magazine.

quote:CNN argues that Eric Rudolph used similar high-pressure devices during the 1996 Olympic Games. “Like the bombings in Boston, those devices were concealed in a backpack, according to a Department of Homeland Security report detailing the 1996 attack,” CNN reports.

quote:CNN's national security analyst Peter Bergen thrice suggested that "right-wing extremists" could be behind Monday's Boston Marathon bombings. Yet near the beginning of its 5 p.m. ET coverage, CNN reported that Boston Police were not currently holding any suspect in custody

quote:On MSNBC, David Axelrod, senior political advisor to President Barack Obama, defended the president’s decision to avoid using the word “terrorism” in his initial public statement regarding the terrorist attack. Axelrod also raised the possibility that the attack could be the product of right-wing anti-tax frustrations by suggesting the incident may be related to tax day:

quote:New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof took to Twitter to charge that Senate Republicans are culpable in the attack for rejecting a Democratic nominee for Director of the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau. Kristof wrote, “Explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment.” He has since attempted to walk back his comment.
